Big Fun In The Big Town (1986)

by Chandra Drews

 

For a Friday treat, here’s a pretty dope and seminal hip-hop documentary, produced by Dutch television way back in 1986. It’s a fun and sometimes eerie look on how the culture was back in the mid-1980s. Includes interviews and appearances by Russell Simmons, Grandmaster FlashL.L. Cool J, Roxanne Shante & Biz Markie, and Run DMC.  It also features lots and lots of gold chains, Kangols, beatboxing and hands waving in the air.whiteboardjournal, logo
